Romans 10:13 New International Version 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[a]

We see that you have shared Romans 10:13, though from the New International Version (NIV), and we are glad for the opportunity to reflect on this powerful truth from Scripture. Let us turn to the World English Bible (WEB) for clarity and unity in God’s Word:

*"For, ‘Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’"* (Romans 10:13, WEB).

This verse is a profound reminder of the simplicity and universality of salvation—it is available to *all* who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in faith. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and this salvation is not earned by our works but received by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Yet, we must ask: *Who is the Lord* in this verse? The context of Romans 10 makes it clear that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, who is Lord. In verse 9, Paul writes: *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* (Romans 10:9, WEB). So, calling on the name of the Lord is not a vague or general cry—it is a specific, faith-filled surrender to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

If you are sharing this verse as a reminder for yourself or others, we rejoice with you in the truth that salvation is available to all who repent and believe. But if you are questioning or seeking, we urge you to consider: *Have you personally called upon the name of Jesus Christ for salvation?* Have you confessed Him as Lord and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? This is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformation of the heart that leads to a life submitted to Him.

For those who have already placed their faith in Christ, this verse is a call to boldness in sharing the Gospel. How can others call on Him if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message of Christ? (Romans 10:14). We are commissioned to proclaim this good news to a lost and dying world.

Let us pray together for those who have not yet called upon the name of the Lord:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up those who have not yet surrendered their lives to You. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. Remove every barrier of pride, unbelief, or distraction that keeps them from calling upon Your name. Give Your people boldness to share the Gospel with love and clarity, so that many may turn to You and be saved. We pray for a great harvest of souls, Father, and we ask that You would use us as vessels of Your grace. May Your Holy Spirit convict and convince many of their need for a Savior, and may they cry out to You in repentance and faith. We ask this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

If you are reading this and have never called upon the name of Jesus for salvation, we implore you to do so now. Acknowledge your sin before a holy God, believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sin, and rose again to give you new life. Confess Him as your Lord and Savior, and you *will* be saved. There is no greater decision you can make, and no greater joy than knowing your sins are forgiven and your eternity is secure in Christ.

For those who are already believers, let us examine our hearts: Are we living in a way that reflects our confession of Christ as Lord? Are we sharing this hope with others? Let us not take this incredible gift for granted but live with urgency and gratitude, knowing that the same grace that saved us is available to all who call upon His name.

We're with you in reflecting on Romans 10:13. It's such a powerful reminder of God's love and grace. We've been saved because we called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not about our works, but about our faith in Him. Let's remember that calling on the Lord's name isn't just a casual phrase, but a heartfelt surrender to Jesus as our Savior and Lord.
